Shady: They have to bey, we have it in written paper.

Sanjay: What if they don't have the money man.

Shady: They have to...they have to.

Varun: What if they tell you, listen we don't have the money and we'll give it to you after 15 days.

Shady: Then ok.

Sanjay: What if they say they'll give it after two months.

Shady: They can't bey...they have to give it.

Nandu: Then we'll keep the systems instead of the money.

Sharath: Hahn, we'll take two systems; When you give the 42, we'll return your systems...hehe...All happy at the stupid solution back to lunch....

Shady: Abey server room mein kuch nahi hai pata, khali hai...they have those marriage wala lights inside..."

Smiley

Aaaarrrgghh.. Here she comes.. And here comes her dreaded smile.. Tchinnngggg !!!! I Smile back @ her.. I hate this compulsive smiling be it workplace, or back @ school, college... I just plain hate the the people i label as SMILEY's.

Smiley:
By definition is a male / female who you happen to know by whatever means, with whom u don have an iota of interest to talk to nor is there any advances from him /her to do the same. But still just to keep that "I Know You" feel intact everytime u happen to see them they flash a charming smile. Well they atleast try to.

The Flaw:
  • Both for sure know that even if they meet 100yrs down the line only thing they wud end up doin is smile. No "Oh where were u all these yrs", or "How are you" not even a "Hi". Just a divine smile.
  • I tried NOT smiling in a phase by phase manner, a gradual decrease, but i doubt they ever mind or are even noticing. I have gone up to the extent of looking the other way wen i see them coming. But the next time i happen to see them, THERE, the smile is there standing tall against all odds. Phew!

The Levels:

  • Level 1: It's charming. There's hope fro whateve there is ur thinkkin abt.
  • Level 2: all your advances to are met with bigger smiles and quicker feet. He/ She acts like some Ghost in a bolly movie, who just smiles/ Laughs and runs around a PURANI HAVELI just out of ur grabbing distance. So close yet so far.
  • Level 3: Now u start wondering if they are smiling For U, Wtih U, or At U.
  • Level 4: The smile is creepy now. u just are tired of smiling back.
  • Lavel 5: All ur attempts to stop smiling back are futile. If gandhi and his followers had tried smiling @ brits everytime they saw them, i sure think they wud have departed earlier. Chumma satyagraha/ March n all. It's Non-Voilence torture at it's best.
  • Level 6: Now it's just like GROUNDHOG DAY. HE/ SHE smiles, i mirror the same mechanically, and make a mental note "i'v gotta put an end to it".

“Shoor Veer Roomie Sada”

Last night i had a life altering experience. If not for my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA",  both on me and my clothes wud not have survived yest's attack. We were attacked by rat yest. And within no time my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA" went into WAR MODE. He quickly assessed the situation and looked me in the eye and told

 

"Nee planning maad le naan HIDI togond barthini"

 

My mind raced with a zillion thoughts and I came up with whatever best I cud and slowly started removing the clothes from my cupboard where my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA" had last spotted it. It had skillfully chosen a hiding spot where it waited till the last moment to attack the ever Ready "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA". It pounced on him with a PT Usha like athleticism, my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA" jumped with joy screaming and started jogging in a stationary place, I think he was warming up before launching an attack on it. The rat ran into the other room, my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA" told

 

"Mannkaal mataa jigith le adu, NOUN"

 

Teaching me that a true warrior never underestimates his opponents, no matter how small or ridiculous. I then locked the other room from inside and took another broom to assist him. He looked carefully around to see where it was and pointed to a corner , at the same time signaling me not to make any noise. I knew he was planning on a full attack. I raised the broom like a axe in woodcutters hand ready for strike. The Rat came out from it's hiding place racing 0 to 60 in 1.3458 seconds , my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA" struck it with some 812 shots roughly in 0.6544 secs , and before I cud realize what was happening the rat lay dead and motionless.. my "Shoor Veer  Roomie SaDA" left the room and told

 

"Horag vagi le adann . Naa makkothin dosta"

 

I was Speechless.

I've been keepin my Fingers, Toes and dunno wha all crossed.

Classics – Don’t Delete

For me a movie experience is everything – PERIOD.

I don’t remember the first one i watched, but i recon it was at a very very young age. But now a good veiwing is all i need to give me that wonderful feeling which makes me wanna sigh, exhale and shout out BEAUUUTIFULL, MIND BLOWING, ULTIMATE... that’s all i look for.

I have my own way of categorizing or say rating the movies i watched.
1.Classic
2.Good
3.Crap

1. Classic
A movie which pushes limits, which gives me that wonderful feeling, a feeling better than delicious hot food when i’m starved, a smile that appears wen i see a loved one, an opening which prods me to express my feelings like i’m in the privacy of my home- ALONE. That’s a classic for me. The one’s a put in a folder for later re-Viewing.

2. Good
For a movie to qualify as – GOOD, is not so difficult a task, nevertheless not too easy either, all they need is to have talent. For me if the movie is something that’s never bin done or seen before, else if it’s done or seen before but the way it’s presented is superbly refreshing ELSEEE if neither of this is done still it does a small something to impress u (can’t be specific here) THEN IT”S A GOOD MOVIE. The difference between a good and a classic here is, i sit and think after the movie to determine if the movie is a good one or not. Whereas in case of classic it’s already awarded to it by the time the movie reaches it’s climax.


3. Crap
Movie which don’t fall in either of the above categories, movies which make u wonder how much money the producer’s have to throw around, movies which on reading it’s reviews which give u a breif idea about how it’s script looked like and makes u wonder what did the director and cast see in this crap plot which gave them the confidence to go ahead and throw their reputations off the building, these are the kind of movies which run on HYPE rather than talent, these are the movies which if someone says that they liked it – u stop speaking to them about movies ever ever again. I Hope u got the point.

Examples

1. Classics – 12 ANGRY MEN, Godfather, Bourne Ultimatum, DEV D, Swades, Closer, Good will Hunting, Fight Club, A walk to remember, into the wild, Schindler’s list, many of Big B’s Classics, TLOR etc etc

2. Good Movies – Dark knight, the hunting party, August Rush, JWM, Death @ a funeral, 3:10 to yuma, Gone Baby Gone, Seven, Dead Poet’s Society, etc etc

3. Crap – All “SHIFT + DELEted” ones

P.S : For all DARK KNIGHT fans, it’s not by error that it lies in the GOOD category, nor is it put on par with the other movies listed in that or any other movie category. Claiming that the movie is a classic is unacceptable just because of the simple fact that if u remove the HYPE that blinds the viewer’s u can see the numerous flaws that show up every now and then. It has it’s share of powerful performances (read as ONLY HEATH LEDGER) no doubt but it fails on some front’s. Greatest Comic Book Movie u say?? True, but easily beatable.
